What is Graphic Design?

By definition Graphic Design is the combination of text and pictures. But to us here at the MyNewPlace Blog, Graphic Design is much more – its a way to blend the hard lines of space (like the physical structure of your house) with art. It’s about expression and utility.

There are 2 reasons why I really love these bowls. 1. Melissa has many other vases, cups, plates, and utility pieces that go with, or complement these bowls. and 2. they are hand made to order. That’s right, hand made. What’s not to love about this apartment decor? Find them on Etsy.

I love the simplicity of this design. The blue and green hues would complement just about any wall color and it’s cheap. Definitely pick up this piece if you’re looking for a larger, signed piece of graphic decor.

I chose this Coffee Table by Charlene Brown mainly because it’s so easy to blend graphic apartment decor with this style of furniture. Add a few books on graphic design in the bottom shelf and you’ll have a nicely tied together look.

Hanging graphic tapestry (that’s right this is a tapestry, not a poster) in your apartment is a really great way to bring texture and warmth into your apartment home. I’m not a huge fan of Urban Outfitters as a company, but I must admit that they have some cool apartment decor. Check out this Magical Tapestry.
